Bilateral synchronous epileptiform discharges registered in patients with partial epilepsies may be generated by different pathophysiological mechanisms. Differentiation between underlying mechanisms is often crucial for correct diagnosis and adequate treatment in clinical epileptology. The aim of this study was to model in rats two possible mechanisms--secondary bilateral sychrony and interact...

Three-phase synchronous motors are widely used in the industrial motor driven systems. Variable frequency drives (VFDs) which allow soft-start of motors produce PWM voltage. Numerical relays are used in the protection schemes of these high voltage motors. The location of current transformer (CT) is an important criterion in the protection circuit. Impact of harmonics and the location of current...

Central pattern generators (CPGs) produce motor patterns that ultimately drive motor outputs. We studied how functional motor performance is achieved, specifically, whether the variation seen in motor patterns is reflected in motor performance and whether fictive motor patterns differ from those in vivo. We used the leech heartbeat system in which a bilaterally symmetrical CPG coordinates segme...

In view of the control problem of Permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM), applying port-controlled Hamiltonian (PCH) systems and passivity -based control theory, the modeling of Permanent Magnet Linear Synchronous Motor is presented. Using energy-shaping and passivity-based control (PBC) method, the control principle of PMLSM is given. The control laws are presented in load known con...

The thrust for jumping in froghopper insects is produced by a rapid, synchronous depression of both hind legs generated by huge, multipartite trochanteral depressor muscles in the thorax and smaller levator muscles in the coxae. A three-phase motor pattern activates these muscles in jumping. First, a levation phase lasts a few hundred milliseconds, in which a burst of spikes in the trochanteral...

In the permanent magnet linear synchronous motor (PMLSM), force ripple is harmful, useless and disturbing. The force ripple is basically composed of two components: detent force and mutual force ripple. This force is influenced by the geometric parameters of the permanent magnet (PM) motors; such as width, thickness and length of the magnet poles, length and thickness of the rotor and stato...

In this paper a multiobjective optimal design method of interior permanent magnet synchronous motor ( IPMSM) for traction applications so as to maximize average torque and to minimize torque ripple has been presented. Based on train motion equations and physical properties of train, desired specifications such as steady state speed, rated output power, acceleration time and rated speed of tract...
